I nod frantically.
His grin intensifies, and he leans down. I pucker my lips, ready for his dominating kiss. I’m prepared to beg for it while I wait for him to close the distance. As soon as his sultry breath touches my lips, he forces me to open my mouth with his fingers. My eyelids flutter wildly as I let him take control of my gaping open mouth, and he spits.
He spits into my mouth.
With widened eyes, I glare at him.
“Swallow. That’s all you’ll get from me until you give me a name.”
Rising and standing straight, I swallow and nudge him with my shoulder as I pass him while he tries to slide his belt back in the loops.
My ringtone pings in between us, and he scowls.
Castle.
She’s been calling and texting me for the past twenty minutes. We made plans to hang out. It’s our last weekend of freedom before the mission, and I promised we’d go down to the bonfire and play Catan.
“Is that your future husband? Are you going to tell me who it is?” he asks with a deep, husky timber, a desirable sound reverberating in the base of his throat.
“And if it is him?” I spit with an aggravated tone.
Silence.
With my hand on the doorknob, ready to flee the villain I’ve come to admire, I turn around to give him one last glance. He still hasn’t lifted his eyes to me. He runs a hand through his beard as he finishes putting on his belt.
“I have to go.” I turn around and grab the doorknob, but before I can push it open, his fingers wrap around my throat and squeeze. He slams me against the wall, and I scratch his wrists. He’s so rough, yet so careful not to actually hurt me.
Dominant but precise.
Dangerous yet seductive.
“I’m not done with you yet,” he breathes against my lips as he squeezes harder. “If you speak to that asshole, I’ll knock your fucking door down tonight and fuck you until your legs ache and your cunt is sore. It will be my cum that leaks from your well-fucked pussy while you’re on the phone with your fiancé.”
“I won’t believe it until I see it.”
“Isla?!” Castle’s distant voice shouts, making Kade take a step back from me. Before he lets me go, I hook my hand around his wrist and place one of his fingers inside my mouth and suck on it.
He groans, and those beautiful, hooded eyes darken.
Popping his finger out of my mouth, I smirk.
“Apology accepted.”
I run out of the room, leaving Kade just as unsatisfied as me.

Violet leaves when we hear Castle’s distant shouting from outside the clinic’s door. I stay in the closet and wait a few minutes, so it doesn’t give off any red flags.
She gets under my skin. I’m convinced she’s doing it on purpose at this point. I wish I were strong enough to tell her I don’t want her, but it would be a damn lie. I like her stubbornness. A stubborn little butterfly—but she’s my stubborn littlemariposa.
I will find out who that man is and ensure she avoids a mistake like marriage. If I have to keep fucking that ring off her finger, then that’s what I’ll do. She’s not going to make the same mistake I did, which is to believe that marriages last, especially when you have a job in special operations. I don’t want her to settle down just yet.
I exit the building where I made Violet choke on my dick. I take one step before being met with a smirking, satisfied Booker. I deadpan as best as possible, grab my set of Aviators, and slide them on.
